ent session, and that it will prove of the most
pitiable faroes Of the season. An effort Is being
made by few, who are anxious to WELD legis-
lative club of some nature, to have tho bill in
troduced at once; but tho sentiment is 80
strongly against 1t that no one seems to have the
audacity to spring it upon the legislature. Be 1t

them are here to work for needed legislation,

Our residence is on our homestead in the

last fall; winter arrived before the scol-

put on, and therefore in some places our

is connected with the winter retreat by
covered promenade, entrance to which is
obtained through trap-door in the
kitchen. Ones entrance to the kitchen is
made after the manner of the entree Of
the fairy queen in the Black Crook. The

the material being left upstairs, and the
setting of line of display type necessi-
tates the making of journey to the up

We have held down our claim, how
ever. Yet, sometimes there comes a
misgiving for is it not written, 'The
settler must reside ON his land" Qhercby
meaning tho surface)? while we reside IN
our land. But, as one commissioner and
the county school superintendent live sub
terra, though in a less primitive manner,
perhaps it's all right.

Dakota,s school.-A Comparison.

DakOta's SchOOls-A Comparison.
Gov. Pierce's Dakota Department"
in Pioneer Press The report of the SUI
perintendent of public instruction makes
splendid showing for the territory. We
give few of the facts presented. Da-
kota employs about double the number
of teachers employed IN Arkansas, about
five times as many as Colorado, nearly
double the number employed in Connect
icut, about ten times as many as Della
ware, more than six times as many as
Florida, four times as many as Louisiana;
nearly double as many as the state of
Maryland, over half as many as the state
of Massachusetts,, fxe sixths as many as
Minnesota, twenty times as many as the
state of Nevada. nearly double New
Hampshire and New Jersey, four times
as many as Oregon and Rhode Island,
nearly double South Carolina, 1000 more
than Vermont, 500 more than West Vir-
glnia, and 1000 more than all other terri
tories, including Indian Territory and the
District of Columbia. The value of the
permanent school property in Dakota is
but ten thousand less than three million
dollars. It has increased from less than
$40, 900 in 1877. There were in June last
1O3,382 children between seven aud
twenty years of age in the territory. In
the year 1885 there were 81, 563, showing
an increase of $3.50 in one year. The
increase is 5,755 greater during this year
than for the year preceding it. There
were 81, 1865 pupils who attended school
during the year ending June 80, 1885.
The percentage of average attendance of
those enrolled is SO per cent, gain of 8
per cent over the preceding year. There
is gain in this one year of 80 teachers,
making total of 5,055 in the territory.
The number of schools in the territory
has run up to 1906 from 8,272 the year
before, at which time Dakota led Arkan-
sas, Delaware, Nevada. California, Flor
ida, New Hampshire, Colorado, Louisi-
ana, Oregon, Connecticut, Maryland,
Bhode Island and Vermont in the total
number of schools maintained. The su-
perintendent says:
Gas matter of comparison, we note
that California Is a state having mag
nifcent school fund, and is provided
with probably the best school system in
the world. But that state employed but
4,O72 teachers in 1884 (the latest report at
handl while Dakota employed 5,055
teachers during the past year, California
had 3,sG2 schools in operation during the
year reported, being about 700 less than
is shown for Dakota in this report. Da-
kota paid out during the past year over
$691, 900 for teachers wages, an amount
greater than the entire expenditures for
school purposes in several Of the states of

Can Provide for Necessary Expenses

Can Provide for Necessary Expenses
The board of commissioners of Mercer
county recently applied to Attorney John
E. Garland, of Bismarck, for an opinion
as to whether the law passed by congress
last wlntcr.fWiting expenditures was in
tended to prevent the payment:oft: neccs-
sary running expenses by counties. The
following is Mr.. Carland's opinion
Isaac Moore, Esq, Chairman Of the
Board of Commissioners of Mercer
County, OAK:
DEAR S1R-Yours of the Sd inst. is re-
ceived. The act of Congress passed and
approved July 80, 1886, provides "that no
political or municipal corporation, county
or other subdivision in any of the terri
tories of the United States shall ever be-
come indebted IN any manner or for any
purpose to any amount in the aggregate
(including existing indebtcdness) exceed
Ing four per centum on the value of the
taxable property within such corporation,
county or subdivision, to be ascertained
by the last assessment for territorial and
county taxes previous to the incurring of
such Indebtedness and all bonds and OBJ.
legations in excess of such amount given
by such corporation shall be void. +"
There can be no doubt about the mean
ing of this provision. 1t is not rnprol,
able that congress may see fit to amend
f1,o 1ox -, ~ vuo,,11 ~
make IL so harsh on counties which had
exceeded the limit prescribed by the law
at the time of Its passage. But, however
desirable that would be, we must take the
law as it now is, and not as it might be-.
am of the opinion that you should issue
warrants for all debts contracted prior to
July 80, 1886. Now, so far as debts are
concerned which have been contracted
since said date, they clearly come within
the law, and warrants cannot be issued
for them if in excess of the tour per CEN
tum provided by the law. It has been
SAID that congress could not legislate so
as to prevent your county from paying
Its running expenses, salaries of officers,
ETC.; but that is not so. Congress could
entirely abolish the whole territorial
government if it chose, necessary provis-
ion being made for all existing contracts.
Thus, SO far as the question Of power is
concerned, if the present law should op-
crate to suspend the whole county ma
chlnery, it would be competent legisla-
tion.
But do not think congress intended
to suspend the operation of those coun-
ties which at the time of the passage of
the act had exceeded the prescribed limit,
and therefore am of the opinion that
debts contracted for the actual and neccs.
sary running expenses OF the county are
claims against the county which may be
audited and paid. Very respectfully,
JOHN E. GARLAND
